yellowTAB's Zeta 1.0 Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the obscurantism dept.

Provataki writes "OSNews' Thom Holwerda posted the first in-depth review of the recently released Zeta 1.0. He goes over installation, impressions, usage, application and hardware support, BFS queries and concludes that yellowTAB's Zeta is the deserving future of BeOS; plus, it's the only one based on the original source code by Be, Inc."

    this fails it so hard, I am looking at the screenshots, I do not see 3d window animations, I do not see scalable icons, I do not see transparancy effects... this operating system fails it and is dying, for the above mentioned reasons.

    Such a waste. All of that effort put into Linux desktops, when it could have been spent writing apps for BeOS.

    BeOS was usable on the desktop when Linux was just a little toy no one would think about using on a server, let alone a desktop.

    BeOS was usable on the desktop when Linux was just a little toy no one would think about using on a server, let alone a desktop.

    When the fuck was BeOS ever usable as a desktop?

    I tried it a number of times over the years on different hardware and it was never more than a fucking toy.

    So tell us all - what exactly did you use it for? Photoshop? Cubase? Oh no, those were never released because it was just a fucking toy.

    Let's face it - you used it to browse the net with the shitty builtin browser and laughed at the Haiku error messages generated when you tried to visit approximately 99% of the web sites in existence. And that's all you ever did.

    I don't hate people who advocate a particular OS just because they like it. I hate people who lie like you just have. Prick.

    "Asshole."
    Indeed I am, and a self-admitted one!

    Like I said, "...meaner than a dog shittin' tacks."

    Thanks for taking the bait and proving my point :) Now go back to eating your Gyros and Souvlaki.
